                      <img alt="Photo of Emlyn" src="images/emlynphoto.jpg" style="float: right" />Geek Angel is a brand new PC home-repair business in South Australia that I've set
                      up in Adelaide. My first advertising campaign (a letterbox drop) is going out around
                      Prospect over the 24th and 25th of February. My plan is to be trustworthy, and offer
                      a good value service.</p>
                  <p>
                      I'm a software developer, and have been for about 12 years. I studied computer science
                      at the Australian National University (I've got a BSc), and started professional
                      work in 1994. I've been developing software for all kinds of organistions, from
                      two or three person organisations up to large goverment and commercial entities.</p>
                  <p>
                      But... well, I'm just sick of the grind, to be frank. Commercial development of
                      business applications doesn't feed my soul (I don't think it feeds anyone's soul).</p>
                  <p>
                      So, after a long period of rumination on what else I could do, I hit apon home PC
                      repairs as a lucky accident. My son and I distributed some fliers over christmas,
                      in an effort to pay for a PC upgrade for him, and I discovered the joy of helping
                      people in their homes with these essential but infernal machines.</p>
                  <p>
                      What this has to do with you, my potential customer, is that I bring an overload
                      of experience and skill to this job. PC repairs are usually seen as a job for young
                      self-trained fellows, without a solid academic background or strong commercial experience.
                      People tend to be good with hardware, but I have found that the vast majority of
                      problems are software related. Programs conflict with each other, viruses break
                      something, a windows service pack might cause something to stop working. 
                  </p>
                  <p>
                      Software is complex stuff, and often these problems are put in the too hard basket.
                      People will tell you "You need to reinstall from scratch" or "You need to get more
                      memory" or "You need to buy a new machine". But I'm out to solve these problems.
                      If you can solve a complex software problem, then there's nothing extra to buy;
                      things just start working again (or for the first time!).
                  </p>

                      weekends, whenever, and I can probably squeeze you in pretty quickly. I understand
                      that your machine is important to you, so I'll do my best to fix it quickly and
                      completely. I look forward to you giving me a call (0403 387 907) , and we can organise
                      to get that infernal contraption fixed.</p>
